D&D 5e: Artificer (New Class)

I haven't seen a post on this yet, but Unearthed Arcana just featured a new Base Class, The Artificer.

Upon first inspection, I don't think it's outright busted, but it definitely seems stronger than most PHB classes. Maybe that's just because it's new and shiny, though.

It does seem very strong to me. Especially the Mechanical Servant having some strong bonuses over the Animal Companion that Rangers can get. That said, it looks all kinds of fun.

Oh, absolutely. Now I need to find another D&D 5e game that'll allow it. :)

I know that the level 20 ability is outrageous.

Double the attunements and a +1 to all saves for each attuned item is way beyond even most other level 20 abilities.

On it!

I really like the idea of the gunsmith, some sort of mechanomage who thought "I wonder if I can put a lightning or fire spell into a little box? Then push a button to release it!" I wanna try it one day.

As of now I am playing it in a game, but have yet to do any battles with it. I'll keep you all posted on what comes of it.

Yeah, I'm playing it in the game that Nabbicus started. Playing an alchemist gnome. Seems about as strong as I was thinking, so far :p

Update on the Mystic and the Artificer!
